In an interview with The Punch, Shaibu admitted to possessing the vehicles but offered insights into his reluctance to return them.

Shaibu clarified that during his almost eight years of service as deputy governor, he received only one new vehicle. He explained that the vehicles in question were not new but rather refurbished ones previously utilized by other deputy governors.

Highlighting the origins of the vehicles, Shaibu stated, “The vehicles they are referring to are the two Prado SUVs used by Lucky Imasuen as the deputy governor. The other Hilux was the one (Dr Pius) Odubu’s wife used, and the Land Cruiser was the one Odubu used.”

He further elaborated that he had taken these vehicles to a mechanic for engine replacement and refurbishment, emphasizing that these were the same vehicles being demanded for return.

Shaibu criticized those urging him to return the vehicles, asserting his commitment to transparency and accountability throughout his tenure.

He concluded, “So, you can see how heartless men can be. I got only one new vehicle in almost eight years that I served as the deputy governor of the state.”
